Celebrated a return to the routine with another strong run #running

Dear James, Daniel and Emily


This week hopefully we can return to the routine. All planned trips are done with, and hopefully there won't be any more emergency down time to deal with kids for the foreseeable future. Last week was good as far as exercise, I did my Tuesday run, then followed it up with some volleyball and hiking with kids. Then Wednesday I did more hiking, and then some swimming. The only workout I missed was Thursday, although I did work in a decent short walk. Saturday and Sunday I got in my scheduled runs. Sunday I even hit a new high of 5.7 miles of straight running, on a day when I had all of the reasons and excuses to skip or cut it short. 

But I am still looking forward to resuming a more normal schedule. If for no other reason than it will be easier to control my eating. Last weeks travelling, and the previous weeks stress had done a real number on my eating habits. I am hoping we can resume a regular menu and meal planning now that things should be settling down.

I am seeing my mileage and calorie burn starting to climb, which is a good thing. I just need to follow better eating habits and the weight should start to come back under control.
